We need to stand up for our beliefs. As Catholics we cannot allow one of the best known Catholic Universities to bestow an honorary award on an abortion extremist. By now I hope you know that I am talking about Notre Dame's decision to give an award to our President. While his speaking is no major issue for many Catholics, the degree is. It like a KKK member receiving an award from the NAACP, it shouldn't happen because it is against the organization's morals. The link brings you to an non-Catholic writer's point of view on the issue and Mary Ann Glendon's refusal of the Laetare Medal, which only is awarded to an American Catholic. Her reason can be found in the URL and there is no need for me to cite the site more than necessary.
